Another Argeneau Vamp book that i really enjoyed! The first half dragged just a little bit for me though. Even though Lynsay Sands signature comedy was still ever present..which i LOVE!...the descriptions of every day tasks were kind of bogging it down some, but once the two main characters FINALLY got together..it picked up. I had seen some people mentioning the tin foil scene but had completely forgotten about it until I was reading it and i was ROLLING!!!..HILARIOUS!!! The second half of this...more

While I did enjoy this read I just didn't find it memorable at all. I could have gone without reading it and not even noticing.

I believe this author has arrived to a point where all her books look the same, at least in what this series is concern. While I loved the first books in it, the latest have been very predictable and lineal. Lately we always have the same bad guy and the same plot. AND I'm terribly bored of hearing out the nanno story developed in so many pages, why explain it over and...more

In a previous book, "The Rogue Hunter", Samantha (Sam) Willan and her sisters Jo and Alex had rented a cabin in the mountains to get a chance to relax and take a break from their stressful lives. In the meantime, in the cabin next door, are Rogue Hunters, or "vampire cops" as one likes to dub their group. There's been a series of 'bites' happening to the humans in the area, and it's against Immortal Law to feed off humans. The two groups meet one night, and it turned out that Sam was Garrettt Mortimer's Mate, the one person in his 800 years that he couldn't read. After she learns about the truth about Mortimer, she holds off on the 'conversion' until she can find lifemates for her sisters. If not, within ten years she would have to cut off seeing her family so they wouldn't see her age.

Her sister Jo met her lifemate Nicholas Argeneau in "The Renegade Hunter", and now in "Hungry For You", it's Alex's turn. Cale Valens was visiting the Argeneau family and taking a beak from his businesses in Europe. Margeurite Argeneau got one of her famous feelings that he might be a potential lifemate for Alex and sends him over to the Rogue Hunter headquarters to meet with Sam and Mortimer. Alex is in the middle of getting ready to open a second restaurant, and is too busy for any relationships with men. The only reason she was willing to meet Cale was because Sam said that he was a chef. Only problem, Cale hasnt eaten or cooked any kind of food in well over 2000 years, and that was cooking meat over a campfire. When he meets Alex, though, he tries to find a way to prove his worth, and helping her with the last minute mix-ups at the new restaurant is a good start. Somehow he needs to find a way to work past her not wanting to get involved with co-workers/employees before he can tell her the truth about who and what he really is.

There's some great moments in this story, especially when Cale tries to cook anything, and only with Bricker's help (I can't wait for the future novel that finds Bricker's lifemate!) does he muster through the first night. Love the rerlationship that develops between Cale and Alex! This is another winner for me!(less)

My four-sentence or less take on the plot: Alex is a chef and restaurant owner who is getting constantly plagued by a series of mishaps that put her restaurant's opening in jeopardy. Cale is a very old Immortal (read: Vampire) who gets word that Alex may be his mate (finally!). Cale and Alex work towards: opening the restaurant, falling in love, and solving the mystery of the cause of her restaurant woes. Many of your favorite Argeneau characters have cameos in "Hungry for you".

Nothing had been going the way it was suppose to. Jobs not being completed due to wrong materials or they were installed wrong, electrical fires, and her head chef quitting without notice- to go work for her competitor. She just didn't have time for her sister to meddle in her love life...or lack of it. But, when Sam informed her that the man she wanted Alex to meet was a chef coming from Europe, Alex agreed to the meeting.

Cale Valens only agreed to meet Alex as a favor to Marguerite. She believed he and Alex were destined to be life mates. When he mentioned that little tibit to Sam, she was instantly excited and immediately arranged a meeting. Calen didn't know where Sam got the idea to lie to her sister about him being a chef, especially since the smell of food irritated him and he hadn't eaten or cooked in about two thousand years. But, when he discovered that he couldn't read Alex's mind and that she was indeed destined to be his life mate, he decided to fake it. That is of course with Bricker's help. Between the two of them, they manage to pull off the illusion long enough for Alex to discover that Cale was more suited for the business end of the restaurant, which eventually worked out better. Cale saw to the workers and the suppliers and she did what she loved best....cook.

I really enjoyed Alex's character...although, I confess I think she might have been a bit too career oriented for my liking. I understood her passion, motivation and determination...but there were moments where it all felt forced. I also enjoyed Cale's character. While Alex was a dreamer and creative, Cale was practical and political. He made a great businessman. I also loved that he was intelligent, but he also seemed innocent when it came to relationships and although he was ancient, he still had alot to learn. I liked that vulnerability about him. The chemistry between Alex and Cale was undeniable ...that was when Alex actually relaxed a little and went with it. When Alex discovered Cale's secret, she acted completely different than I expected she would. Frankly, it pissed me off. But, then I kinda giggled over her trying to rescue Sam for a moment, then went back to being pissed at her.

The supporting characters are always great in this series. Each book adds layers of depth and personality to each of them. I love when they get together, it always feels like a family reunion. It was nice to see the Willan Sisters come together again. I absolutely love Bricker. He has always held my curiosity. I love his wit, charm and talent for stating the obvious. He reminds me alot of Thomas. I can't wait until he gets his own story. Marguerite is classy as always.

Overall, this is a classic Lynsay Sands book. Like the other books in this series, it doesn't focus so much on the plot, it centers more around the members of the Argeneau family and their friends. Hungry ForYou is light-hearted, fun loving, and a sexy read.

And the last Willan sister finds her mate.

Hungry for You bears a strong resemblance to the early installments of the series. There's a little mystery, a lot of confusion, and a fair amount of light-hearted banter as Alex and Cale get to know each other.

Like her sisters, Alex is a strong-willed overachiever. They share a lot of traits actually - especially Alex and Sam - but Sands succeeds in keeping them distinct. Alex stands out because she's painfully stubborn at times, trying hard to convinc...more

The was nothing different about him from any other good guy; even being over 2000 years old wasn't reflect in any of his language or actions, only in his briefly mentioned back story. Alex was a bit deeper, but still pretty generic. There was very little humor (other than the soon to be infamous tin foil scene, which was funny if not terribly original) and no suspense.

Lynsay Sands is one of those authors who writes a series of books that are all pretty similar, so if you read one and don't like it, then you are not likely to enjoy the others. Fortunately, I've enjoyed most of her vampire books, and am not bothered by reading similar stories. In this installation, we meet another "sort of vampire" (immortal infected with nanos) who is looking for his lifemate, and takes another longstanding character's suggestion to see if a local chef might be the one.

Endlich wieder mal ein wirklich guter Band von Lynsay Sands endloser Vampirserie über die weitläufige Familie der Argeneaus.

In "Vampir à la carte" rät Marguerite Cale Valens Sams Schwester (Beide bekannt aus "Im siebten Himmel mit einem Vampir") mal zu besuchen und ihre Gedanken zu lesen.
Marguerite ist ja bekannt als Gefährtenfinder, da sie bereits einige Pärchen der Familie direkt oder hinter deren Rücken zusammengebracht hat. Alexandra - Sams Schwester - hat allerdings momentan für Männer überhaupt keine Zeit, da sie gerade ein zweites Restaurant aufmacht, kurz vor der Eröffnung steht und ihr Chefkoch im anderen Restaurant plötzlich kündigt. Cale soll sich als Koch bewerben, damit sie Zeit für ihn hat, wobei Cale ein steinalter Vampir ist, der schon seit Jahrtausenden keine Nahrung mehr zu sich genommen hat, geschweige denn sie zubereitet hat.

Lynsay Sands ist wieder ein absolut lustiger, abwechslungsreicher Vampirroman gelungen. Immer wieder musste ich einfach laut loslachen, aber die Sache mit der Kocherei ist wirklich nicht Cales Stärke. Einfach genial! Die Handlung ist zwar leicht vorhersehbar, und an ein zwei Stellen ein wenig abrupt, dennoch fand ich das Buch wirklich toll und flüssig zu lesen. Merkwürdigerweise passt dass "nicht-so-tolle" Cover auch zum Inhalt, aber nichts desto trotz fügt sich dieser Band aufgrund des wenigstens gleichbleibenden Stils schön ins Buchregal neben die anderen Reihenbände ein.

Was mich zudem wirklich erheitert hat, im Buch wurden glaub ich 8 Geschwister von Cale erwähnt und ich dachte mir nur - oje NEIN!, nicht 8 Geschwisterbücher! - und war dann direkt froh, als erzählt wurde, dass die meisten umgebracht wurden. Makaber, aber irgendwie reicht's langsam. Ich finde den umfangreichen Stammbaum der Argeneaus wirkich bald zu kompliziert und verwirrend. Obwohl dieses Buch wieder richtig gut war, sollte Lynsay Sands die Reihe trotzdem allmählich beenden und mal eine neue anfangen oder wieder ein paar lustige Historicals schreiben. 20 wär doch eine schöne Zahl um aufzuhören - auf englisch ist ja bereits der 18. erschienen!
Wenn's am schönsten ist, sollte man ja bekanntlich aufhören!

I'd have loved to see Alex and Cale, the h/h, working together (she as the restaurant owner and he as the.. whatever he is, I don't quite remember, sorry) and I'd have loved to see her telling Jack (one of the idiots in the business) what an asshole he was and I sure as hell would have loved to see something new. But all of that didn't happen.

If this book was a stand-alone novel or the first one of the Argeneau's I read, I'd definitely be able to five Hungry for You a higher rating, but I simply can't.

What really bugged me was the 'Trust the Nanos!' bullshit and even more the 'It's our parents fault' talk. First of all, the nano-stuff is the reason why psychologists claim that paranormal romance novels lead to delusional prespects of life. In our life there are no Nanos. How do we mere humans know how and when to trust someone?

Second: Never start blaming the parents like that without pointing something out that's very important. Your readers might start to do the same and although I admit that your childhood influences you more than many other things do I hate how most of the times people forget to explicitely say that blaming someone doesn't make anything better. You blame A, but A had parents too. So you better blame A's parents, B and C right away, except that they, too, have had parents. It never, ever stops. The important thing I was talking about is: No matter how you got where you are, you're the only one who might have the power to chance your situaion. They might be responsible for some of your charactertraits, but you are responsible for what you do with them. I know it's obvious, but itneeds to be stated, because people all around me do blame everyone and avoid actually changing anything through these excuses.

Dear authors, please just consider this, because humans seriously tend to blame everyone, anyone, as long as they don't need to change. (How did Karen Marie Moning call this generation? Entitlement Generation?)

The romance was as hot as ice cream.. Um, I mean. It's like it always was and 'always' just isn't my taste, but if you read the other books and liked them, who knows? You might like that one too. And if you've never read an Argeneau novel, this one might be a good one to start with, even if all the people are already mated there. Who cares? We always know that they'll get a HEA anyway. ;)

If you've never read an Argeneau novel this one might be one of the best ones to start with. If you did read the others I don't see any reason against reading Hungry for You, too. It has more potential than the others, I think. Still, I haven't bought it and I wouldn't pay for the book.

Since he's an immortal over 2000 years old, Cale figures there is no harm in meeting this woman, particularly since everyone seems to have so much faith in Marguerite's matchmaking abilities.

Since he's an immortal over 2000 years old, Cale figures there is no harm in meeting this woman, particularly since everyone seems to have so much faith in Marguerite's matchmaking abilities.

Still, nothing prepares him for meeting Alexandra Willan, a gifted chef in the midst of opening her second restaurant. With her two sisters already mated to immortals, the chances of Alex being a life-mate were slim to none, but it takes Cale the space of a heartbeat to realize she's it. He can't read her mind or control her actions, and after just a glance at her, all his appetites - long dormant - blazed back into life.

Alex can't help to like - and even feel attracted to -Cale when he arrives at her restaurant in the middle of a crisis in the disguise of a talented Chef (though it has been over a thousand years since he last cooked anything), but trusting him is another matter. Both her heart and her mind have been messed up before, and trust is something she just doesn't handle outright, making things for Cale just a little bit more complicated, but so much fun to read.

Second Glance: Hungry For You is the first Argeneau book I have picked up after a long time - I read Single, White, Vampire a long, long time ago - mostly because of my friend Kylie's Review@The Creative Geek. I asked her and she said that it was fine to read it on it's own - and really, it is, I had no problem understanding or anything.

And I have to say that I really loved it. It was funny - many times it made me snort with laughter - and for the most part it read like a contemporary romance rather than a Vampire book, and that was awesome (because I don't usually dig vampires). I liked how the 'vampire' was part of the story but not the most essential part, the main focus was always on the couple.

I did feel the ending like a bit over the top, but it was all in good fun. Plus, since I borrowed this in audio form, I have to say that I really liked the narrator's voice, I loved how he made Cale sound, with the slight but still very understandable French accent.

Bottom Line: A sexy, light-hearted read that I highly recommend, even if you, like me, aren't a vampire fan.

It's fun vampire read. There are no overwhelming bad guys - most of the plot revolves around our hero [who is introduced to her as a chef but hasn't eaten in 2000 years] trying to avoid cooking while trying to get the heroine to cozy up to him. Many characters from previous novels make an appearance but it could be read as a stand-alone or out of order.

The vampire mythology is good for me as I don't like the whole undead vampire thing so any explanation that makes them not dead and not have to kill the one they love is good with me. This one is more like the earlier books in the series instead of the last few. In other words it focuses more on the couple and less on the evil set of vampires who are warring with them.

Another Argeneau male succumbs to the loving-nanos, finding his life mate after waiting over two thousand years. Of course there is a dark and sinister person after her, jeopardizing Cale’s happiness. With the help of the Argeneau family - and its a large one - they will locate that evil-doer thats certain (the other books have proven that)! However this book serves up lots of steamy sex amid great food; even a heavenly meal prepared by none other, E...more

She's been writing stories since grade school and considers herself incredibly lucky to be able to make a career out of it.

Lynsay's books are read in more than twelve countries and have been translated into at least six languages.

1.) I started The Deed (my first romantic comedy and the first book to be published) a year after my mother's death. I was very close to my mother and the year following her death was about the most miserable time imaginable. But then I decided I was tired of being down and unhappy, and looked around for something to lift my spirits and make me laugh. When I couldn't find anything, I decided to sit down and write my own. It worked! Emmalene and Amaury's antics in The The Deed had me chuckling as I wrote.
2.) I met my husband in New York in July 2003. I was there because of the RWA conference and he was there on vacation. The first day there we kept running into each other and chatting in front of the hotel, and then he asked to join our group (it was very brave of him. He was the lone male amongst six or seven women, lol). He's a Brit and I'm Canadian and the first two months of our relationship were conducted by phone as well as over the internet. Our first date was a week in New York in September, followed by three weeks in England. He then came to Canada in both November and December, the first time to propose and the second time for Christmas with my family and then to take me back to England with him for New Years. I lived in Northern England for two years. We married in New York and now live in Canada.
3.) I was writing about my husband before I met him. Single White Vampire came out in September 2003 and I took a copy with me to England when I went for the three weeks. I walked into my now-hubby's house to find at least six months worth of mail unopened and stacked up on a shelf inside the front door. When I stopped dead, eyes going wide with shock and asked "My God. That's mail. You don't open your mail?" He looked embarrassed and muttered some explanation about bills automatically being paid by the bank so no need to open those and everything else was unsolicited and he couldn't be bothered. When I burst out laughing, he started to frown and said "What?" My response was to dig out the copy of Single White Vampire and hand it over with the suggestion he read it. The mail thing wasn't the only similarity he had to Lucern Argeneau. There are many more and when he sat down to read the book, he kept stopping and turning a rather startled and even suspicious gaze my way and muttering that this sounded familiar" or that did. I had to point out that it really was coincidence, that I had written that story at least nine months before meeting him. LOL.(less)

Quotes from Hungry for You

“Alex grinned and then walked past him, murmuring, "I applaud you for your courage."
"Courage?" he asked with confusion.
"Hmm." She headed for the door to the hall, swinging her purse gaily as she went. "Many men find it difficult to come out of the closet.” — 21 people liked it

“I thought you said that after this many years nothing should embarrass him?" Leigh said with gentle amusement.

Lucian grunted. "I guess he's more sensitive than I thought."

"I am NOT sensitive," Cale snapped, irritated by the very suggestion.

"It's probably his mother's fault," Lucian said, ignoring him. "Martine named him after Caliope, the muse of poetry. Between that and his father dying when he was only fifty, he's probably suffered under Martine's namby-pamby influence.” — 14 people liked it
